Calligraphy

for Kids

Japanese Calligraphy (“Shodo”) is the art of writing beautiful letters with a brush.

In this class students will learn how to write, read and pronounce Japanese vocabulary for a fabulous experience that will broaden their horizons.

In learning Shodo, students develop the ability to draw straight and curved lines and to create balanced calligraphic works.

This process enhances penmanship, digital dexterity, aesthetic sensitivity, patience, and self-control. Additionally, students who learn to appreciate calligraphy artistry mature into confident adults who possess the vocabulary and imagination to conceive and articulate their ideas.
